AGCAS Alumni Network Reunion 

June 2020

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, we have decided to postpone the 2020 AGCAS Alumni Reunion which was to have taken place in Liverpool on Friday 19 June 2020. Since our reunions are generally held between May – September and both travel and gatherings are unlikely to be safe again for some time, we have decided to postpone the reunion till 2021. We will of course keep everyone updated as things become clearer.
